MISBAH-UL-HAQ
- Fastest fifty in Test cricket history - 21 balls
- Formerly, joint fastest hundred in Test cricket history - 56 balls
- Most successful Pakistani Test captain with 26 wins under his belt
- Most Test series wins as a Pakistani captain with 11 victories
- 81 - the highest number of sixes hit by a Pakistani batsman in Tests (no tuk tuk here)
Was hoping to pick Javed Miandad next, but he was poached by Asad. So I thought I'd reunite the MisYou pairing. As much as I disagree with his coaching antics, I do think he was sorely underrated as a batsman. He will also be my captain. Don't get me wrong, Imran Khan is still the best captain Pakistan has ever had. But he's not the most successful one, tho is he?

"The most remarkable aspect about Misbah-ul-Haq is his unflappable temperament. It shows in his batting, which reached unprecedented levels of consistency in 2011, and in his captaincy, which helped lift Pakistan from the depths of the spot-fixing saga in England in 2010. Taking over as leader immediately after that episode at the age of 36, Misbah's calm approach was exactly what Pakistan cricket needed after the tumultuous period it had gone through." - ESPNCricinfo
